While the President and Mrs. Cleveland
were receiving at Lindell Hotel, from 3
until p. N, there was q steady stream Of
people passing by them, and when The lat
ter hour arrived there appeared 10 be ss
many more waiting 10 pay their respects.

bl0cks during the reception hours. and al
us close there was no percsptable
change in the appearance OF the
crowG. President aud Mrs. Cleve-
land received in the middle OF the
large pzrior adjoining the dining room hall
way, standing during three hours beneath
the richly-dec0rated chandeliers. Mrs.
Cleveland was magnihcentiy sttired in rich
blue surah silk. with rad rose and green
leal hgdres. Standing IN the brilliant re-
fiection OF the massive chandelier, with ner
robe cut medium decollette, a profusion OF
lace about her throat caught with a
simple diamond pendant. and full lace
sleeves, she presented picture which cEpIi-
waited AL who had the good fortune to reach
her. The only charm she wore around her
neck was string OF coral beads recently
presented TO her. The scenes during the
reception were very novel. Outside the
crowds WeIe separated time and time again
by being thrown bsck by the passage Of
street csrs. Many persons who had stood
for hours and worked their way almost 10
the hotel entrance, were several times
thrown back, and others more
fortunate took possession Of their
places. The unfortunate, however, were
very nervy and upon each set-bock again

ception paTlor. great majority of them
were expressions OF confidence that the
lady of the White House paid them "espic-
ial attention" was 80 cordial 1 know

ture; thousands of complimentary express
sions being made about Mrs. Cleveland and
quite as many about the President.
Promptly AZ haif-part seven the Pfesiden-

companied by the local committee and
their wives, were driven from The Lindell
Hotel through the Illuminated streets.
